Memphis’ own Yo Gotti has a plan for 2015 after being relatively quiet in 2014. The CMG general dropped a brand new mixtape titled Concealed alongside DJ Drama yesterday and after that, the gritty emcee will drop his new album The Art Of Hustle after enjoying the success of his 2013 effort I Am, which catapulted his career in a major way. However, Gotti wants to do something different this time around. In fact, that’s his mentality with every project. “This album in particular is gonna be a lot more personal because I’m giving you a lot of my life… continue reading

Yo Gotti embodies all that represents the hustle. He’s mastered it in many ways. For one, his progress in the industry has been substantial since he started. We watched him from his days with Cash Money, through his epic mixtape era and now where he’s at. A respected veteran who earned the title. It’s less about releasing free music and more about calculated records like “11/11″ to build buzz toward his next album, The Art Of Hustle. If the album is anything like I Am, it’ll be more satisfying. “11/11″ is backed by a dope Infamous production and littered with… continue reading

The remix just doesn’t seem to be becoming much in hip-hop anymore. Most rappers do them but don’t know how to properly create a memorable one. For Yo Gotti’s “Lebron James (Remix),” he keeps the same verses from the original with a Meek Mill verse tacked on at the end. It would’ve worked better as the original, but since Meek is already on another I Am record it wouldn’t have made sense. Previously: August Alsina Ft. Yo Gotti – Ghetto Follow @SermonsDomain

Def Jam’s August Alsina is back with an updated version to his Knucklehead produced-cut “Ghetto,” which was originally featured on the New Orleans native’s Downtown: Life Under The Gun EP. With his forthcoming debut album expected to drop in the spring, Alsina enlists the help of Memphis-bred Yo Gotti for the official version. Give it a spin up top. Previously: Future Ft.

DJ Esco is preparing his next mixtape, No Sleep, for December 17. You know what this means, expect plenty of new Future records. On top of that, he’ll have Meek Mill, Birdman, French Montana and more featured. The first single is Future’s “Day 1,” assisted by an autotune-using Yo Gotti. If you’ve been rocking with the same folks since the beginning, this is your anthem. Future continues to hit these records out the park as we wait on Honest. Previously: Future – Regular Party (Prod.
